[E] [C#m]
[B]
[E] I [F#m] was 21 years when I [E] wrote this song I'm 22 now [A] but I [D] won't [E] be for long
[A] Time [B] hurries on [E] And the [D] leaves [A] that are green [B] [E] turn to brown
[C#m] And they wither with the wind And [B] they crumble in your hand
Once [E] my heart [F#m] was filled with the [B] love [E] of a girl
I held her [A] close but she [D] faded in the [E] night [A] Like a poem I [B] meant to [F#m] write
[E] And the [D] leaves that are [A] green [F#m] [E] turn to brown And [C#m] they wither with the wind
And [B] they crumble in your hand I [E]
[F#m] threw a pebble [B] [E] in her brook
And watched the [A] ripples [E] run away [A] And they never made [E] a [B] sound
[E] And the [D] leaves that [A] are green [B] turn [E] to brown And [C#m] they wither with the wind
And [B] they crumble in your [E] [B]
hand [E] Hello, [A] hello, [B] hello, [E] hello
Goodbye, goodbye, [D] goodbye, [E] goodbye [A]
That's all [B] there is
[E] And the [Dm] leaves [A] that are green [B] [E] turn to brown
